Sri Lanka Names Chaminda Vaas As Bowling Coach For West Indies Tour

By AFP News February 19, 2021 • 17:17 PM View: 1946

Sri Lanka's cricket board Friday appointed former Test player Chaminda Vaas as national fast bowling coach, replacing Australian David Sekar who resigned just before the West Indies tour.

Vaas, 47, is the most successful Sri Lankan fast bowler, taking 355 wickets in 111 Tests and 400 scalps in 322 one-day internationals. He retired from Test cricket in 2009, a year after ending his ODI career.
